Contralateral pneumothorax after pneumonectomy for carcinoma.
Fortunately, contralateral pneumothorax occurs rarely after pneumonectomy. This complication was detected during the immediate postoperative period in four of 340 patients having pneumonectomy for carcinoma at the Ochsner Clinic from January 1942 through June 1958. To our knowledge delayed pneumothorax has not occurred in any of the remaining patients. This lends support to the impression that ...
متن کاملA surgical intervention using percutaneous cardiopulmonary support for contralateral pneumothorax following pneumonectomy.
We here, describe a 63-year-old man presenting with a contralateral pneumothorax following pneumonectomy. After setting up a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) system in advance in preparation for hypoxemia during the operation, resection of bullae was performed. His oxygen saturation and hemodynamic status were stable intraoperatively and we achieved a successful and safe operation sw...
متن کاملAcute Tension Pneumothorax Following Cardiac Herniation after Pneumonectomy
A tension pneumothorax is one of the main causes of cardiac arrest in the initial postoperative period after thoracic surgery. Tension pneumothorax and cardiac herniation must be taken into account in hemodynamically unstable patients after pneumonectomy. We report an unusual case of successful treatment of acute tension pneumothorax following cardiac herniation and intrathoracic bleeding after...
متن کاملPulmonary Resection for Metachronous Lung Cancer Following Contralateral Pneumonectomy
Patients who undergo pneumonectomy for lung cancer are at risk of recurrent disease and metachronous tumours in the remaining lung. Establishing a diagnosis can be difficult as biopsy may induce a pneumothorax, whilst resection is limited by remaining lung function. However, pneumonectomy should not be a contraindication to further lung resection. We report two cases of lung cancer resection in...
متن کاملAcute airway obstruction--an unusual cause.
A 69 year old woman arrived in the emergency department after a collapse at home. The ambulance crew found her in a low cardiac output state, unresponsive other than to painful stimulation. On arrival she was brady-cardic, hypotensive, and deeply cyanosed. Ventilation by means of a bag-and-mask system could not be achieved; she was therefore intu-bated. Her condition improved after atropine 0.6...
